You know, I support local farmers and farmers market’s as much as the next guy, but let’s not continue to live in this fantasy where the demands for fresh produce from a single city can be met by local farms if the grocery store down the block will just work with them. If we’re cut off from produce imports due to a trade war, then you’re in competition for that tomato with the manufacturer down the block who has a shitload more money to throw at that farmer than your grocery store does.

Exactly, we’re in an international economy. So many of our products are foreign and people who are anti trade don’t even realize it.
